Dear ,
The sensitivity to cold is a common problem after tooth cleaning. It is not due to the procedure but due to the exposure of the sensitive part of tooth (Root), which takes place after the removal of calculus (Tartar in common language). Anyhow lets treat it. Buy Colgate Sensitive Pro Relief or Sensodyne or Sensodent KF or Thermoseal RA (either of them) toothpaste. Apply the paste, with the help of finger, to the outer and inner surfaces of teeth (especially in the teeth with sensitivity) and let it be there for 15- 20 minutes. Then take your toothbrush, wet. As paste is already there in mouth, brush your teeth with very soft hand. It is just like everyday brushing, only difference being that you have apply the paste for some time before you brush your teeth. As the paste already there, no need of applying paste to the brush. It will take almost three to 4 weeks, for the sensitivity to completely subside. It can subside early also, but if doesn't wait for 4 weeks. If you don't get relief upto 4 weeks, then go to a Periodontist.
Now I will come to the harder part.
In your case, I feel Periodontitis (Pyorrhea) has set in.As a result only scaling (cleaning of teeth) won't suffice. You have to seek the opinion of a Periodontist (Gum specialist) is definitely required. The reason being Pyorrhea being a very slow destruction of bone supporting your teeth, you will realize the actual difficulty when no or minimal bone will be left and your teeth becoming loose. At that stage saving your natural teeth will not be possible or in a compromised state.
On the other hand if you undergo complete treatment, and follow the instructions properly then, you will never loose your teeth.
Just make sure you consult a Periodontist.
Till the Good Luck and Good Bye.

Hi
the causes of itchy gums are:
1. Mild inflammation of gums
2. Accumulation of debris on teeth
3. Teeth pushing through gums
the best home-remedy is to massage the gums with a mix of mustard oil and salt twice daily for 1 or 2 days. It will sooth the gums.
Hope that helps.

There are definitely solutions to correct such a problem. However, the exact treatment option will depend on what the real nature of the problem is? hence, either you will need to be examined or you can share some photographs for us to be able to give you some preliminary opinion. The cost and treatment duration varies based on the exact nature of the problem and the number of teeth that need to be treated.

Black spots on your teeth indicates deposits n you need to get scalling done.
Black spots on your gums or its dark color can b due to chronic infection of gums caused due to reduced blood flow. Dettachement of your gums frm teeth also indicates gum problem.
Consult a dentist in person for detecting the cause n guide you through the treatment.

Dear , you need to consult with a dentist. If the decay is small then it will get sorted by filling if not then root canal may be required. If you can send us your x-ray then we can comment accordingly.

Hi lybrate-user,
for better looking teeth, the first and most important thing is to quit tobacco.
Your teeth should be clean, and free from plaque (accumulated food debris) and stains. For that, you must get professional scaling/cleaning done from a dentist.
After that, you can head for tooth whitening procedures such as bleaching and laser tooth whitening. Home remedies such as lemon peel and apple cider vinegar can be used, but being acidic in nature, they eventually wear off the outermost layer of teeth (enamel) making them weak in the long run.
So better to go for trusted scientific procedures.
Regards.
